matthew t Windows 11 PC Health Check app returns in preview
 
 
 
Microsoft had launched an app called the PC Health Check app, which couldn't satisfy the users for the app displayed incorrect results for the PCs, claiming them to be incapable of installing and running Windows 11. Furthermore, the app didn't let the people know the exact reasons for this claim and was thus taken to be failing in the task it has been brought for. This made the company pull the app and work on it. It took three months for this revamp in the app, and it is now prepared to get back but in a preview form.

The app is not available commonly; therefore, Microsoft did not release any details or a blog post regarding the revamped app. In addition to this, this latest version (3.0.210914001) of the app has no changelog to show what's new.
According to some of the media reports, it has not been clarified whether you need to be a Windows Insider to download the app at the moment. However, a page titled "Windows Insider Preview PC Health Check Application," includes links to download the app. According to this page, one needs to be an Insider to download the PC Health Check app.
Windows 11 page contains a footnote that has a direct link to download the app. But, the footnote specifically mentions that the app download is for PCs running Windows 10 in S mode.
This app will let you know the reason why your PC is not compatible with running Windows 11. Further, you will be shown checkmarks next to the met PC requirements and will clearly tell you the requirements yet not fulfilled to be compatible enough. If the PC is not supporting TPM 2.0, you will even be provided the link to get and enable it on your PC.

matthew t Organize your PC’s storage drives for competence
 
 
 
 
Do you often inspect the applications, software, games, and media installed on your computer? If not, you should consider checking up on all the available content on your PC to make sure all the existing items are of some use to you. If they aren’t, you should immediately uninstall or delete the useless apps to create storage space on your PC and improve its speed and performance. This could be done using the Task Manager that determines the consumption of resources of your PC by every existing apps and software.
The Task Manager helps you identify apps responsible for the slow processing of your PC. In most cases, the two responsible causes are antivirus software and bloatware. Also, when you have purchased a computer from a system integrator company such as HCL, Dell, or others, your PC will possibly be loaded with the company software you may not require at all. You can go for an uninstall for these applications and software in order to ensure some space on your PC.

While on the Task Manager, you can suggestively click on the Startup tab to view the programs that launch as soon as you power on your computer. You can set a limitation to the number of programs to as little as possible, thus boosting up a speed to some extent. Also, when you are looking forward to getting rid of the software with minimum or no use on your PC, you can do so from Control Panel to wipe off most of the irrelevant items from your device.

You can also rely on Windows Defender to protect your PC from getting impacted by the malware that may enter your device through suspicious links and websites, you may have accidentally clicked while browsing on the Internet. You may certainly find some help from some good antivirus programs like Bitdefender and Malwarebytes, but you cannot ascertain to count on all so-called pricey antivirus packages that cost you all but provide the minuscule of services, and rather become a reason to slow down your system a bit more. If you are hesitant to delete these antivirus programs from your PC then at least you should leave them untouched.
